Big River (Remastered 2020)

Big River (Remastered 2020) - Bill Monroe and His Blue Grass Boys

Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry how to cry

And I showed the clouds how to cover up

A clear blue sky

And the tears that I cried for that woman

Are gonna flood you big river

Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die

I met her accidentally in St Paul Minnesota

And it tore me up every time I heard her

Drawl southern drawl

Then I heard my dream went back downstream cavortin' in Davenport

And I followed you big river when you called

Then you took me to St Louis later on down the river

A freighter said she's been here

But she's gone boy she's gone

I found her trail in Memphis

But she just walked up the block

She raised a few eyebrows then she went down alone

Won't you batter down by baton rouge

River queen roll it on

Take that woman on down to New Orleans New Orleans

Go on I've had enough

Dump my blues down in the gulf

She loves you big river more than me

She loves you big river more than me
